Activities or mission (Part I)
TO PROMOTE THE RIGHT OF EVERY CHILD TO A PERMANENT, SAFE, AND LOVING FAMILY.
-
Children's Home Society of North Carolina (CHS) exists to promote the right of every child to a permanent, safe, and loving family. CHS seeks to prevent childhood trauma, break cycles of poverty and neglect, and help build healthy and resilient families. Our services focus on improving child and family well-being and helping children achieve permanency through reunification, guardianship, or adoption. Last year we served 23,515 individuals across North Carolina. Foster Care to Permanency Services: Provided foster care for 966 children across the state; 113 children were adopted and 51 were reunified with their family of origin. Life-Long Post Adoption Services: Provided an array of support services to 251 adoptees, adoptive families, and birth parents. This program helps clients address issues that may have arisen from their experience with adoption and uses confidential intermediary services to provide connection services to adult adoptees and birth families. Child Focused Recruitment: Provided services to 656 of the oldest and longest waiting children in foster care to identify a permanent family. 60 youth achieved permanency. Supportive Post Adoption Network: Provided clinical in-home and community-based post-adoption support services to 275 families and 185 children. This work supports families in understanding and addressing child trauma. Intensive Family Preservation Services: Provided services to 528 families and 1069 children to improve family functioning and prevent entry into the child welfare system. 98% of families remained intact after receiving services at case closure. HealthySteps Specialists provided parenting education for 5686 caregivers and 5862 children. The program currently operates in 13 pediatric practices in Guilford County, supporting families with children aged 0-3. Community Navigation operates in OB-GYN offices in Guilford County, providing support for 2023 pregnant people starting at their first prenatal appointment and continuing through a series of follow-up appointments. 242 postnatal clients consented to services as well. Family Education and Support: Provided education services to 1073 parents/caregivers focused on building knowledge and skills to improve child and family well-being in a group setting and 107 in an individualized format. Youth education: Provided 295 adolescents and 221 professionals with training and education around sexual, reproductive, and relationship health for youth in care. Professional Training: Provided professional training and skill-building to 370 professionals across the state, improving knowledge and professional skills in child welfare and responding to child trauma. Child First is an in-home, evidenced-based therapeutic intervention provided for children aged 0- 5 and their caregivers. This year, 54 children were served.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
